On the first day of the Speed Challenger, there were not many people.
More people wanted to see what this thing was with a hint of curiosity, so they just wanted to join in the fun.
Because there are enough bonuses and overseas travel prizes, even people who have no interest in video games come to see what it is about.
Ohno Yue is just a very inconspicuous person among them.
Every directly operated authorized store is now filled with game consoles, more than a hundred of them, enough for challengers to come and try them out.
Because registration is free, people who don't play games will also choose to register, and then they will get a number plate. When the number plate is called, the player can challenge.
For this challenge, all game consoles have been specially designed. The game consoles will have built-in timing programs to facilitate unified statistics by the store staff when the store closes at night.
Early in the morning, more than a hundred game consoles were already occupied.
Some challengers are just passers-by, and everyone can only have one chance to pass the level, and there is also a limit on the time to pass the level.
A game like Metroid that takes a long time to clear is set to be completed within three hours.
For games like Mario and Contra, the game is set to be completed within an hour. Finally, for Tetris, there is no need to set a time deliberately. Anyway, as long as the game ends, it is considered a challenge.
"Hello, sir, please press your seal here."
Ono Yue came to the registration office, and a clerk was introducing everyone to the basic rules of game registration and the specific content of the challenge game.
In Japan, the legal effect of a seal is sometimes higher than that of a signature. As long as you stamp it, it represents your approval of the agreement.
The content of the agreement is some restrictions that prevent multiple challenges and prohibit the use of some means outside the rules.
Players who sign up stamp their stamps one by one, then receive a number plate and wait for their time to be called.
Ohno Yue is not in a hurry to sign up. Anyway, the challenge only lasts for half a month, so he can wait and see.
The huge hall seemed a bit noisy at the moment, but fortunately there were specially hired security guards to maintain law and order, but no serious incidents occurred.
And those challenge players who are already sitting in front of the game console are staring at the screen attentively.
These players seemed a little cautious. Every time they cleared a level, they would wipe their sweat and make a sound of joy.
Ohno Yue also carefully watched the challenge process of these players.
After all, these players will all be competitors competing for prizes with him. Let’s take a look at their general strength first.
It's just a little regrettable that the rankings cannot be updated in real time now, and today's rankings can only be seen in detail tomorrow.
However, Ohno Tomoe was not completely without gains.
Among the many challengers, 90% of them actually come here to try their luck.
Some of them have never even played a game. They seem a little unfamiliar when they first come into contact with the game, and then they end the game very quickly.
For example, in three games such as Contra, Super Mario, and Metroid, as long as the health points are used up, the game will be declared over in advance, and the challenge will not give multiple opportunities for rebirth in one challenge.
So at the beginning, these challengers generally failed after ten minutes, and they were not even considered competitors.
This slightly improved Ohno Yue's self-confidence. He felt that he was at least somewhat capable among these people and not a rookie.
But there are also some pretty powerful guys among these people.
They are generally able to complete the challenge before their health runs out and the time limit expires.
However, none of these people can compare with him. Yesterday he did a test. If he was in his limit state, he could make it take nearly twelve minutes to clear Super Mario.
Contra can complete the challenge in twenty-seven minutes, while Metroid can complete the challenge in less than two hours.
But these people almost all pass the level before the time limit is reached, which is quite extreme.
Most people in Tetris will be defeated if they can't reach the speed of level 12, but Yue Ohno can persevere at the speed of level 14.
This was a moment of judgment.
After seeing this store around noon and confirming that there was almost no one who could compare with him, he immediately ran to the next store to check the situation.
The main thing today was to check out the points. Since he had decided to get the reward, he had to study it carefully.
He believes that he is more prepared than anyone else, and he should be able to get first place in at least one of the games.
Among them, he is most confident in Mario and Tetris. In the other two games, he has seen a few guys who have a similar clearance time to him, so they still pose a certain threat.
Soon he came to the second store. Even though it was close to noon, there were still many people here. Many people even came directly with lunch boxes and ate while watching others challenge. Suddenly, the room began to fill with excitement.
The smell of rice made Ohno Yue very hungry. He came out so quickly in the morning that he even forgot to bring a lunch box.
You must be prepared for this tomorrow.
He stayed in this shop until about four o'clock in the afternoon.
It’s almost the same as the last store. Most of the stores here are just make-up, and there are also very few people who can even clear the levels normally, let alone speed-passing games.
His confidence soared for a while, and then he went to the next store and stayed there until eight or nine o'clock in the evening before returning home with a hungry stomach.
"Xiao Jiang, why are you back so late today?"
Because Ohno Yue didn't come back all day, his mother was still a little worried. It wasn't until Ohno Yue came back that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I went to the store that sells games."
"Stayed all day? Did you buy anything?"
"No... I'm starving to death. Does mom have anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes, the dinner is still hot." Ono Yue's mother said with some distress.
Ohno Yue immediately ran to the kitchen, and started eating without even taking the food out of the kitchen.
"Mom, can you prepare a lunch for me tomorrow?"
"Of course, but are you still planning to go out tomorrow? What are you going to do?"
Ohno Yue thought for a while, and then said with a serious expression: "Mom, if I said that I might have found my future direction, and maybe I could have my own career, would you believe it?"
Ohno Tomoe's mother's eyes widened, and after waiting for a few seconds, there was a trace of tears in her eyes.
"Mom...Mom, why are you crying?" Ohno Yue immediately stopped eating and was a little panicked.
